The Howard Hughes Corporation currently owns three properties in Hawai‘i: ONE Ala Moana, Ward Centers and ranch land in Maui. ONE Ala Moana is a world class development of luxury condominiums above the Nordstrom parking structure at Ala Moana Center. In a joint venture with The MacNaughton Group and Kobayashi Group, the partnership recently began sales of the 23-story tower, which offers an ultra-luxury lifestyle to local and international residents. Ward Centers is a collection of retail and commercial properties centrally located between downtown Honolulu and Waikiki. In October 2012, the company - the largest private land owner in the Kaka‘ako district - unveiled a vision for Ward Village. The 9.3 million square-foot, mixed-use development will reshape the area into a dynamic, urban master planned community, with more than 4,000 residential units and over one million square feet of upscale retail and other commercial space.
